An organization in Nebraska is seeking a qualified vendor to conduct an organizational capacity assessment and develop a comprehensive strategic plan. The scope of services includes a thorough review of the organization's governance structure, financial sustainability, and operational systems. This assessment aims to establish a clear understanding of existing strengths, identify capacity gaps, and evaluate overall readiness for effective service delivery.

Key tasks involve analyzing the current governance framework, bylaws, and decision-making processes, as well as reviewing the performance and policies of the organization's Revolving Loan Fund portfolio. The assessment will also include an evaluation of staff capacity through a skills inventory, job description analysis, and identification of professional development needs. Targeted outreach to stakeholders and partners will be conducted to inform the process, and a gap analysis will be performed to benchmark current capacity against standard requirements for Community Development Intermediaries. The insights from this assessment will be used to create a robust, long-range strategic action plan to guide governance, finance, operations, and stakeholder engagement.
